Rosa 'Romantic Siluetta' - Climbing Rose

The 'Siluetta Romantic' Rose belongs to a line of roses developed in Germany by the rose breeder Kordes for their vigorous climbing habit, small size as they reach a maximum height of 2m (7ft), covered with many small flowers. Very recurrent, their floribundance is matched only by their robustness and disease resistance. 'Romantic' offers summer flowers with double-cup-shaped blooms and a delicate fragrance. In a pastel pink colour, they measure 4 to 5 cm (2in) in diameter, and their numerous tightly packed petals evoke old varieties. They are gathered in clusters on perfectly healthy, satin green foliage, on flexible stems carried by a well-branched bush.

'Romantic Siluetta' or 'KORsilu09' is a repeat flowering climbing rose that appeared on the European market in 2020. Vigorous, it has a flexible habit and thorny stems, reaching a height of 2m (7ft) with a spread of 80cm (32in). Its green and satin foliage is exceptionally healthy and perfectly showcases the pretty clusters of well-rounded small flowers, measuring 4 to 5 cm (2in) in a pastel pink colour. It blooms almost continuously, from May to October, abundantly, as long as it is not lacking water. Its flowers are double and have a delicate yet present fragrance.

The Siluetta roses are well-suited to elegantly cover a fence, pergola, or trellis on a wall. They allow for the creation of modest yet sumptuous displays throughout the summer. They require very little maintenance except for regular watering in summer during periods of high heat and prolonged drought. Pair them with each other, or combine them with easy-to-grow large-flowered clematis like 'Broughton Star'. They are good companions for panicled phlox, delphiniums, digitalis, catmints, and tall baby's breath. Romantic does well when grown in a large pot with moist substrate. Its flowering is not affected by being planted in partial shade.
